A source who monitors political e-mail lists sent me an intriguing message disseminated last week, which involved an apparent Dateline NBC solicitation to Muslim groups. Check this out:

From: Subject: Looking for Muslim Males to participate in NBC Dateline Segment
[Forwarded]
Salam,
I hope everyone is doing well.
I have been talking with a producer of the NBC Dateline show and he is in the process of filming a piece on anti-Muslim and anti-Arab discrimination in the USA. They are looking for some Muslim male candidates for their show who would be willing to go to non-Muslim gatherings and see if they attract any
discriminatory comments or actions while being filmed.
They recently taped two turbaned Sikh men attending a football game in Arizona to see how people would treat them. They set them up with hidden microphones and cameras, etc.
They want to do the same thing 2 or 3 other times (in various parts of the USA) with one or two Muslim men in each setting. They are looking for men who actually "look Muslim". They want a guy with no foreign accent whatsoever, a good thick beard, an outgoing personality, and someone willing to wear a kufi/skullcap during the filming.
They also want someone who is fairly well accomplished and has contributed to American society at large in some meaningful way.
That said, I'm urgently looking for someone who can be filmed this April 1st weekend at a Nascar event (and other smaller events) in Virginia. NBC is willing to fly in someone and cover their weekend expenses. The filming would take place all day on Saturday and Sunday.
We already have a hijabi sister who will be filmed there but a Muslim is also needed to join her. I also need candidates for the other filming segments which will take place in the following weeks.
A few weeks later, NBC will fly all the filmed participants to New York City to interview them as a group about their experience and thoughts on discrimination they've faced in America, especially in light of the times we live in (war on terror, 9-11, etc.). The show, if approved by NBC (highly likely), is expected to air sometime this summer.
What I need from interested candidates is an email with an attached clear photograph, a resume, and contact information. I also need basic information such as age, ethnic background, accomplishments, etc.
The sooner I can get this the better and please don't make emails too long. I will then submit a group of candidates to NBC so they can choose the people for the show.
Please forward this to all Muslim lists you can. Because of the upcoming filming in Virginia, this is pretty time-sensitive. My contact information is below.
Salam,

Catch that? The apparent "sting" involves targeting Nascar and other sporting events. 'Cause that's presumably where the fair and balanced NBC news staff thinks all the bigots are.
Keep an eye on Dateline NBC here.
Send your questions to dateline-at-nbc.com

Let NBC bring Cindy Sheehan, Michael Moore and Alec Baldwin to the track and see what reception these White-Americans get!
Hey NBC, here's an idea. How about sending a staffer to a DNC/MoveOn.org fundraiser prominently wearing a crucifix and openly carrying a Bible? Surely that would be the fair and balanced thing to do, no?
Rude trolls should be treated like anyone else regardless of the event and their ethnicity, punched out.
It would be a total piece of junk by the end of the race....

LMFAO!!
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
The only competition the Nascar dudes would get would be from the bull dykes. The "men" in Berkley would run away tucking their man purses...
This is so offensive, I hope the good ol' boys at NASCAR give the media thugs a camera sandwich.
Later
And they'll raise a finger to pause you... as if the call is too important for them to deal with a PAYING customer!
No surprise. If they find something, or claim to, it'll be all over the news. The preparation for the staging of an event won't be.
Yeah, the last time I patronized one of those gas/convenience stores owned by Muslims, I swore I would never go back. I was at the counter, waiting politely to PAY for my gas and a few munchies, and when he FINALLY waited on me, he was positively hostile. He barked at me, and I was so startled, I couldn't even speak. I think he said something really nasty then because he and his co-hort started laughing--loudly.
This was one of my regular haunts since childhood, but since they took over ownership, I will never set foot in that place again. Rude doesn't even begin to describe their behavior. **shudder**
"How about talking to a balding white guy who enters a mosque with his shoes and head still on?"
Why? We already know what the "TROP" would do.
This is just more reasoning to not watch NBC, IMO.
Like they are starting to do again at the airports for the Moonies. It would be priceless for the race track to announce:
"Please be advised that NBC News Dateline has solicited Muslims to attend this event to get your reaction. We're here to see a race folks. Remember that. If you feel the urge to address this issue, the proper response is to take it out on NBC News. Thank you, race fans!"
Oh, that would be PERFECT!
